DREAMING

Elizabeth turned and sat down hard on the porch of the cabin. "You…wait…how can you be a city?" She looked at the childish girl spinning in circles in the field, her arms thrown out to the sides and her head tilted back as he soaked in the sun.

"Uh…" Elizabeth paused, unsure how to address a millennia old city that acted so much like a child. "Atlantis?"

The girl turned, "You may call me Lantea, if you wish to give me name; it is what they call me when they speak to me, and I believe I like it." She turned away and looked off across the dream field. "I never had a name before." She added irreverently.

Elizabeth paused, shaking her head in astonishment. How on earth could such a wondrous city be so child like? How could a city even be a person in the first place? 'Right, not on earth anymore, that's how.'

"Lantea, how…"

"How can I be me? How can I be speaking with you? Why would I be speaking with you? How, what, why everything?" The city interrupted, suddenly losing her childish demeanor to come and stand beside Elizabeth where she sat on the edge of the porch.

"I am here, now in this time and place Elizabeth Weir of planet earth, because you need to understand why certain events have transpired the way that they have. It is time for me to tell you about myself, my chosen ones, and my sister, Alleria."


Author's Note, sorry about the delay, I'm back at school now, so there should be more updates coming.
